Merry-Go-Round

My head is spinning...

Merry-go-round, merry -go-round.

Surfing, swaying, gliding....

In and out of madness.

And the merry-go-round round...

Plays a merry sound sound.

It haunts me!

Stop! Wait! Get me off!

Confusion, motion, volatile commotion.

I want off this merry-go-round!

So, why do I keep staying on it?

On the Edge

On The Edge

Living on the edge of nowhere,

Where the desert meets no oasis,

I look for answers,

There I look for water.

Blank

Blank
Blank this paper is blank
There are no words to describe it.
So many things, so many plans
When-WHEN?
Mixed thoughts, new thoughts
What does it mean?
What do they mean?

When-WHEN?
Write a novel
Sing a song
The unknown is
BLANK

Am

Am

I am the only one
Who knows my life, my shame, and my pain.
My hopes, my dreams, my love, my children, my friends,
My shortcomings, and even my very end.



I am the only one who will eventually know the answers I need.
I am the only one who can know what Jesus wants me to do.
I am the only one who sees my life confused & often
misunderstood,


And, even I have hurt others with my words and actions.
I am the one right, right now,
In this very glimmer of time that truly wants to know what to do.

My Dream

My Dream
In this world, we look for a place where we feel safe.
A home to speak, to wonder, and to dream in.
Far beyond the oceans, I can see it.

In this world, I hope for a place where love and joy meet.
A life to live, to laugh, and have peace in.
Far beyond the heavens, I can dream it.
